I might be reading it wrong, but it looks like that link is saying that Coors it the 3rd most hitter friendly park in the majors?
And probably the 2nd most, considering the Red Sox offense most likely attributes to the runs at Fenway more than the park does.

Ok, let's take it easy on the personal attacks, no need and no point. I told you when I posted the trade to be prepared for some backlash. This should come as no surprise to you. I don't see anyone calling for a vote, so I don't see any reason for namecalling.
I'm not sure how much sim experience you have, but it is MORE than reasonable to think Fields will hit 40 homers in Coors over a full season in the sim when he had 23 homers in under 400 at bats in MLB.
My biggest beef is not the Escobar offer, but the Carmona offer. Carmona is better than Price and Hochevar now and for the forseeable future. Secondary is the fact that you moved Pujols within the division. Don't get that strategy in the long term.
To each his own, that's what this league is about. But as commissioner, these types of deals worry me about the future of the Colorado franchise from a competitive standpoint.

No need to worry about my sim experience.....I'll take good care of the Rockies.
I'm just not a believer in Carmona's ability at this point. I certainly think he's very good, but certainly not in the same category of talent as Price, or even Hochevar for that matter. And as for Fields, I really don't beleive in his ability either....I would much prefer Encarnacion, regardless of the numbers they both put up last season.
Here's the way I see things.....the Rockies won 71 games last season before I took over the team. I need to make some moves, and take some risks. Who cares if I have Pujols if I'm a 70 win team again. My team is much better as a whole because of this trade.
Check this thread a year from now and see if everyone still feels the same way.

Cant be the same Josh Fields that hit ONLY 23 HRs in just a 100 games. Plus you play at Coors he could be looking at 40 HRs easy this yr. Dont even know why you would look to deal him if your trying to rebuild or even win now. I'd say the problem is the GM and he needs to go 40 Homers at Coors?? That sounds like a very intelligent thing to say. sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactorAgain 23 HRs in 100 GAMES, you add another 50 games played and hes at an 35, so how can you say that 40 is out of reach?

Again 23 HRs in 100 GAMES, you add another 50 games played and hes at an 35, so how can you say that 40 is out of reach? You're right...point taken.
